Exchanging Data with LabVIEW (Legacy)

Use SystemLink tags to exchange data between FlexLogger and LabVIEW.

  1. Install LabVIEW 2017 or later (64-bit recommended).
  2. Install NI SystemLink Tag Support for LabVIEW.
    1. Open NI Package Manager and click Installed.
    2. Locate FlexLogger and click the Install or remove related packages gear.
    3. Select NI SystemLink Tag Support for LabVIEW <version> and click Next.
      Note If you do not see NI SystemLink Tag Support for LabVIEW <version> listed, you automatically installed it with FlexLogger.
    4. Follow the instructions to complete installation.
  3. Open the example LabVIEW project located at %Program Files%\National Instruments\FlexLogger <version>\Examples\SystemLink Integration\FlexLogger Tag Examples.lvproj.
    This LabVIEW project contains several example VIs for sending I/O data points to FlexLogger, importing I/O from an existing FlexLogger project, or programmatically controlling output values in FlexLogger. NI recommends using Simulated Temperature Chamber Example.vi to get started with exchanging data using the SystemLink tags.
